Wheel'd made its debut at the DC Band Contest of Champions at Decatur Central. They had a very successful first show and pulled off impressive numbers, less than 2 points behind Greenwood. The Band of Marauders will roll into Lawrence Central next week, where they will take on the New Castle Trojans. Show time is 7:45 pm, and the itinerary has been posted (subject to change).

Each year during full day marching band rehearsals, we ask that parent volunteers come in and chaperone throughout the day. This basically consists of hanging out near where the majority of kids are & being available to help with basic first aid (bandages, ice packs).

On competition days we need 2 chaperones per bus (we take 2 buses) that will stay with the group during the entire time at the competition site, making sure kids are where they should be, helping with uniforms, props, or anything else that may be needed.

Indoor Percussion, consisting of 22 members (only 4 of which are seniors), heads to State Finals at Ben Davis on March 30th. The ensemble has had an amazing run this season, and are feeling great as they head into competition on Saturday. They perform at 12:14 pm.

Both teams started off their season on January 26th at Plainfield after the cancellation of the January 19th event due to inclement weather. This season the JV team consists of 9 members with a show titled Warrior, Conquer from Within. They brought home a GOLD!

The varsity team consists of 12 members this year, and their show is titled Caged. They placed 8th overall out of 16. We couldn't be more proud of what both teams accomplished in their first competition. Varsity travels to Anderson on February 2nd, and JV has a short break from competition until March 16th. Way to go, Marauders!

Use the link below to bring up the concert program for the 54th Annual Extravaganza band concert! The concert takes place on Friday, May 11, and Saturday, May 12, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 each (but MVCSC faculty members get in free). The 8th grade band will perform on Saturday evening only!

What has become an annual tradition is now available online. The 2017-2018 Band of Marauders yearbook can be viewed here. You will have to sign up for Shutterfly to purchase the book; doing so is free.

Yes, the book is a bit pricey (more than $100). That’s why you want to wait until Shutterfly has a 50 percent off sale. Sales will be announced through the band’s Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Last year’s yearbook (for 2016-2017) is available here. It can still be ordered. Again, wait until a 50 percent off sale is announced.
